About this study

Official title: Effect of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block on Intracranial Pressure and Cerebral Venous Outflow Oxygenation During Craniotomy for Supratentorial Brain Tumors.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block on ICP and arterio- jugular venous oxygen difference (AJVDO2) and jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjVO2). Throughout this study, the efficacy of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block as scalp block in craniotomy operation will be assessed, and the effect of SPGB on cerebral hemostasis during craniotomy will be evaluated by monitoring of both ICP, AJVDO2 and SjVO2.

Read the detailed description

This study was performed in the Neurosurgical operating room and included 52 patients allocated into two groups: the treatment group (block group) and the control group (non-block group). 26 patients enrolled in block group and 26 patients in non-block group.

Intraoperative ICP monitoring by subdural ICP monitors will be done every 20 minutes in both block and non- block groups until craniotomy has been occurred, then at the time of closure of the dura . Arterio- jugular venous oxygen difference and Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation changes will be recorded every 20 minutes in block and non- block groups throughout time of the surgery till closure of the dura.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SPGBProcedure or surgery

    Also called Sphenopalatine ganglion block

    Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block using 2% lidocaine in block group. Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block is performed by a hollow culture swab that is connected with a 21-gauge a syringe filled with three ml 2% lidocaine, inserted parallel to the floor of the nose until resistance is felt. The swab is at the posterior pharyngeal wall superior to the middle turbinate. The applicator was kept in the nostril for five to ten mins. The same procedure is done also in the second nostril SPGB using normal saline is performed in the control group

Study groups in NCT04434651
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Block group (A)Experimental26 patients who will be subjected to a neurosurgical intervention for removal of supratentorial brain tumor. Supratentorial brain tumors with shift of the mid-line <10 mm evaluated by CT scan [computerized tomography] . SPGB will be performed using 2 % lidocaine before induction of anesthesia. The anesthesia induced by IV anesthetics and maintained by Isoflurane. ICP, Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation, and AVDO2 will be assessed every 20 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intracranial Pressure

    ICP changes checked by a subdural ICP monitor that positioned after the first burr hole at the opposite side of the tumor immediately after induction of anesthesia. ICP monitoring will be conducted every 20 minutes until time of initial craniotomy and at time of closure of the dura.

    Measured: Every 20 minutes until time of initial craniotomy, then again after the dura was sutured.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation and cerebral arteriovenous oxygen content difference.

    Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation will be measured then AVDO2 will be calculated.

    Measured: Every 20 minutes throughout the operation period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SPGB in people with Cerebral Tumor, run by Zagazig University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intracranial Pressure (time frame: Every 20 minutes until time of initial craniotomy, then again after the dura was sutured.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04434651, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Aug 2021.
